    T-Motor U13 (100kV) + CF 29x9.5 3-blade prop REVIEW + THRUST TEST

    I really don't have a great deal of interest in that motor/prop, but your review was so well done I went through the the entire thing. Nicely done.

    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    OK its Sunday, I'm bored so... Anyway, here's an oldie, but a goodie. There was NO EDITING or STABILIZATION, it was shot on my iPhone3 in realtime. I just listened to the music and hit the button...

    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    I guess I'm one of the few that don't considering post processing cheating. I never consider what you capture in the camera as the final anything. I like to see what's possible, if people post process and use it as an example that's fine as long as they share how they accomplished it. People...

    Motor and prop size for 800mm hexacopter

    I wouldn't start by choosing the frame size. Have you used eCalc? Not always that accurate but it's a good place to start getting an idea on the size of props, motors and power system you'll need to lift a given payload. You need to determine the right motor and prop combination that can...

    Using Drone Photography for TV News Holds Doubts

    That's a very short sighted study. Of coarse news organizations are going to stay away from large scale deployment of drones while it's still technically "illegal." Until the FAA completes the NPRM there's too much liability. Even if you have insurance and a 333, it's still too risky. Just...

    Commercial Use of Drones gets boost from Virginia

    A very interesting article. Anyone thinking about moving their operations to Virginia? Or anywhere else for that matter? I'm in California, with all the BS local regulations, all the DoD and aerospace companies attempting to win favor with universities and bureaucrats to legislate out...

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    Curious what the percentage of threads are more for the hobbyist or the professional. I suspect that the overall numbers of threads about hobbyist related support question, how do I tune this or which controller should I use for that, have increased significantly and a potential result of that...

    I have 2 FC's whch would you suggest ?

    The WookongM is one of the better DJI FC's but the Pixhawk is a more capable controller but much more difficult to setup correctly. But once it is I think it's a much better controller no matter what frame it's on. It all depends on your experience level and what you want to accomplish with...

    S800 flip of death

    Another thing to keep in mind, larger props on lower KV motors are unstable if it takes 30% or less throttle to take off. Drone's should be designed to hover at 50% throttle. People often over propped trying to get longer flight times. I've seen so many S800's flying a GoPro and gimbal...

    Nice design. We manufacture the PixRacer, I'd like to test it in your 250.

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    I agree with Petr's suggestion with the exception that I'd recommend including USAR with the other commercial applications. Like the other categories most of the discussion will probably be about how to conduct business. Drones have given rise to aerial remote sensing. They're quickly...

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    The point I was trying to make was that initially MRF was great because this was the place people came to discuss commercial drone business. HoverFly Pro had what was considered to be one of the first commercial flight controllers and most of their support was done through this site. Then the...

    Should I stay or Should I go?

    I don't pretend that anyone cares whether I stay or go, more of a rhetorical question. I didn't always agree with Bart but you have to give him a lot of credit for starting Multirotor.com when he did. At that time multirotors where beginning to have a profound effect on the RC hobby and there...

    Drone Shot Down

    http://okcfox.com/news/local/legal-drone-shot-down-in-edmond-neighborhood During the debate over drone registration a lot of people said that there's no expectation to privacy so what difference does it make if the FAA makes the registration public. The reason the FAA claimed they needed to...
